I put different institutions for the General and the Physics test, though, I did ask for both of the scores to be sent out. But because they didn't have the results for them quite at the same time, and have sent out General results about two weeks prior the Physics results becoming available, I am curious. Will they sent them to schools listed for the General test, or would I need to order additional scores?

They do, but for most an unofficial score report, like a copy of the one sent to you from ETS or a copy of your online score report usually suffices. Check with the department, but a lot of them do allow you to send unofficial scores, and then submit official reports as a formality of acceptance.

That... was an incredibly silly thing to do. The results _should_ be out before December's end, but still. Why did you register so late when you knew you are going to be applying to grad schools this year?At least say that you already took pgre.

Don't worry about it, you'll be fine. Almost every application I submitted had an option to either submit scores or submit a date in which I planned on taking the test--as long as they have the scores by February, there's no problem.

Can you elaborate on most? Are you sure you're not confusing GREs with transcripts? For example, of all my schools a number of them accept unofficial transcript scans, but every one of them requires an official GRE report.

I'm very much hoping that you're right. I took the PGRE in November, it's cutting close.
